Changes for Awarding Body Linkage (ABL) Exam Results Processing 2014

Overview

The Awarding Body Linkage (ABL) process for summer results 2014.

We are pleased to say that we will be processing additional examination results and passing those details on to providers. Please ensure that you take note of the new awards being processed as their inclusion may also necessitate reference data changes which will need to be implemented on your own systems by the summer. In addition to new qualifications, we will be updating how we collect and pass on results for BTEC examinations and OCR Technical’s.

New qualifications, updates and information

As part of our overall communications regarding ABL, further information can be found at www.ucas.com/members-providers/undergraduate/application-cycle/abl. Please note the ABL Summary Information document has been updated with the latest details of new awards to be processed. The ABL notes document will be updated and made available for 2014 when we process the main results provision at ABL weekend (8-10 August 2014).

The following highlights the new awards, and changes to existing awards, which will take place for the summer 2014 results. It is assumed you are aware of how these awards are constructed. If you require further details on the awards and the Tariff points associated with them, please visit www.ucas.com/ucas-tariff.

We would like to remind you that when we process the entries and results files we may have to add additional subject codes for late entries. Please update the reference data on your systems before processing the results in the summer, to ensure your reference data is as up-to-date as possible. We will send out a reminder to this effect.
